Sausage

All pork hotdog, Crooked Gap

Pasta

Perhaps a bit on the spicy side, I used some more vegetables, but even so still good.

Pancakes

I really like this buttermilk pancake recipe. I tend to use my 8” pans to make larger pancakes so the times change a bit, but still a good thing.

Coconut Curry Chicken Noodle Soup

I broke up the noodles a bit so you don’t have very very long noodles, which I think can be frustrating when you are trying to dish it up. I had two cans each of chickpeas and cannellini, and because I wasn’t looking, I opened one of each, instead of just the chickpeas. I figured the cannellini beans would be fine in there too, so I opened up the other chickpeas and added a bit more stock. I added the leftover part of the second sweet potato from last week. This turned out to be quite the chunky soup, and good for leftovers too.

Lamb Rice

So the plan was to make this on Thursday, but as I had leftover pasta, and leftover soup, I was like we gotta eat some of these leftovers, so I made sandwiches instead. On Saturday, I made this. I used a whole pound of lamb, and a bit of extra rice and stock and because my wife doesn’t particularly like the solidness of like pistachios, I skipped those all together, though did add the butter to the rice. I used wild rose vinegar instead of lemon juice. It came together well and I was right about it leaving a lot of leftovers. Mild, but with the distinct flavor of lamb. Generally pretty good and will make a filling leftover. As a note This combined well with the Holiday Heck Hot Sauce (Alton Brown) as the flavors of that meld well with the cinnamon and nutmeg of the lamb rice.

Pasta e Fagioli

Delayed until next week.
